umadevo's ultimate track/street monster build
 
No need for explanations, I'll get right to the day I bought it to today. I would like to say that everything done to this car, I did in either a buddy's garage or my own.

Purchased: November 2010
Car: 04 Lancer Evolution VIII
Color: Wicked White
Home state: Maine



The day I drove to the dealership in New Hampshire to test drive it.

From this point in time on, I got a lot more serious.

On the way to the Dyno to get tuned on the new built head. I made 296/284 all-wheel on 91 octane on a mustang dyno at Synaptic3 in NH.

Had to rebuild the entire dr side. Ball joint was so bad it ruined the knuckle.

I'd like to give a big thanks to Brian at STM. He and the guys at STM have really helped me with tons of tech info and getting me what I need.

Future Plans:
Evo 9 JDM Rear
Voltex Rear Diffuser
Doluck Carbon Trunk
Voltex Wing
AEM V2 EMS
ShepTrans/T-Case
Exedy Twin Disc
Tune by Emery at STM on C16 Race Fuel

Please post comments and suggestions, thanks.

GTijoejoe Jun 16, 2012 11:51 AM

suggestion: get JDM bumper

Comment: do you really have red brakes, purple wheels, and gold lugs? hahahaha

umadevo Jun 16, 2012 11:55 AM

I do plan on getting the JDM rear.
As for the purple wheels, I only bought them because Emery at STM hooked me up because Shawna didn't like the color, and they were the exact size and offset that I was looking for. I need to refinish the brake calipers, which I was going to end up doing this winter with the Brembo rebuild kits. At that time I'm going to repaint them, the color I am unsure of, but it will be unique. The gold lug nuts were sponsor bought.

The red tow hook will be getting repainted as well, it was placed there in the picture just to see how I like it with it on.

Looks great! Nice Evo!

Really likin the purple rota grids..

GTijoejoe Jun 16, 2012 10:51 PM

You know I'm only busting your balls right? I'm not being serious dude... just making light of something that looks silly lol

TigOLDBiTTies Jun 16, 2012 11:30 PM

ya and those rotas sure are the "ultimate street/track setup".

TMSmith Jun 17, 2012 05:21 AM

Nice build, do you have hi-res! I like that photo of the rear in the garage.

street = 1 set of wheels/tires
track = another set of wheels/tires, as its a work in progress I haven't purchased track wheels yet. I live in Maine, the roads up here are unbelievably rough.

@Gtijoejoe, yeah I know you're just busting my balls.

@TMSmith, Thanks, I have a Nikon that I take some pictures of the car with every once in a while when I get a new idea for a pic.

:lol: Then I definitely don't think Rotas are a good call for a street wheel.

Also confused as to where the 'ultimate' setup lies, as I only spot a Red and a built motor.

I have a pretty intense suspension setup as well. As its a work in progress you guys need to chiil a littlebefore you pick it apart. Rotas are a cheap wheelthat I don't care if they get curb or bent. I don't race on the street.

Love the rims!!!

Blue91lx Jun 19, 2012 08:13 AM

What's your suspension setup?

Also, any reason why you're going EMS over Stock ECU SD? That may be a waste of money more or less.

I have an extra set of DFV's that I'd be willing to let go, which would be your ideal suspension setup for "handling's sake".
